• .NET Development XML file validating just because it doesn't use my schema

  I've been trying to write some code that reads in an XML file, validates it against my schema and then processes the XML using XPaths. I wrote the XSD and used the code below to read it in. XmlReaderSettings settings = new XmlReaderSettings (); settings.ValidationType = ValidationType .Schema; settings.Schemas.Add("http://myurl/ " , "MyXSD.xsd" ); settings.ValidationFlags = XmlSchemaValidationFlags .ReportValidationWarnings; XmlReader reader = XmlReader .Create( "TheirXML.xml" , settings); XmlDocument xml = new XmlDocument (); xml.Load(reader); This validates properly if the XML I'm reading has xmlns=" http://myurl " on the root element. However, if an XML file is suppli ...Show All

• Visual C# How can I change the cursor of a third part (Window/exe) ??

  How can I change the cursor of a third part (Window/exe) I have tried with WindowProc Api function, but it raised the CallBackOnCollectedDelegate exception/bug. Thanks You can't. Mouse cursors for an application are set by the application in response to a WM_SETCURSOR message. You can't intercept that message and do anything different. If the handler for the WM_SETCURSOR uses a cursor from the applications resources you could edit the binary and get a different cursor--assuming the binary doesn't check for tampering. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Generating Tabs in Excel Report

  Hi, Does anyone know if it is possible to generate a tabbed report to Excel format with Reporting Services Thank you, Ray raymuirhead , When a report is exported to excel, the tab name in excel is going to take the name of your rdl report, but I am having the same problem that you have when I am exporting a report that has a group and a page break is set up in the group. When this information is exported to excel the information is saved in different spreadsheets, which is really cool. but it would be nice to be able to set up the name of the spreadsheet.

• SQL Server Using managedDTS in a CLR

  Hello, Has anyone been able to create an assembly that references Microsoft.SQLServer.ManagedDTS in a CLR When I try to do a CREATE Assembly [Microsoft.SQLServer.ManagedDTS] it sets off a chain of dependencies a mile long, (system.windows.forms, system.drawing, accessibility, system.runtime.serialization.formatters.soap, microsoft.sqlserver.msxml6_interop and the list goes on). I have tried creating assemblies for these manually, but they keep referencing more. I have seen a number of posts that talk about using the manageddts in a CLR, but none have mentioned this issue. When I did manage to get all of the assembies created then I got a failure in my CLR procedure because some of the assembly signitures don't match what's in the GAC, e ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) how to set maxReceivedMessageSize for a vb6 client app that use a WCF service ...

  Hi I have a VB6 client app that calls in to WCF service hosted using netTcpBinding. The calls seems to work fine for other functions that returns small amount of data. But i have a function that returns a string (xml serialized dataset) and it exceeds the maxReceivedMessageSize(65536) and i get "RunTime error -2146233087 (80131501) - The maximum message size quota for incoming messages (65536) has been exceeded. To increase the quota, use the MaxReceivedMessageSize property on the appropriate binding element.". My vb client app is named vb6client.exe. So i added vb6clientapp.exe.config and added maxReceivedMessageSize="6553600" in the netTcpBinding section. But i still get this error. If i do the same on a WCF client ...Show All

  I work for a commercial software development company and our primary product has been components (.DLLs) developed in VB6. When we started years ago, we had to buy the VB6 Enterprise Edition in order to develop .DLLs that could be distributed and registered on customer machines.

• Visual C++ Symbols different on x64 vs x86

  I have a 32-bit app that I am trying to port to 64-bit. I've noticed that for exported C style functions that the leading _ gets dropped by the 64-bit compiler. For example, from dumpbin /symbols: From 32-bit object file: 00D 00000014 SECT3  notype       Static       | _GetEnvFunc From 64-bit object file: 00C 00000028 SECT3  notype       Static       | GetEnvFunc All of the compiler flags are the same, except that -DWIN32 and -D_X86_ have been replaced with -D_WIN64. For the linker /machine:x86 has been replaced with /machine:x64 and all other flags are the same. The problem is that the above ...Show All

• Visual C++ Self Drawn v. Owner Drawn

  Can someone please clarify this terminology for me: What is the difference between self drawing and owner drawing in MFC Yes! The DrawItem and MeasureItem are called by the WM_PAINT handler as often as needed. They give you more control than handling your own WM_PAINT, because you just have to handle one item after another. So overriding WM_PAINT might disturb the default handling. ...Show All
